AuthorTopic: 60 new yorker (Read 828 times)

Hi all, just acquired a 60 new yorker. and someone told me about this site. I have a few questions, maybe someone can help? The turn signal switch is not in place on the dash, I have one, but do not know exactly how it is attatched, or how to get it in the right spot. also the gas gauge reads full all the time. Any help will be appreciated.

I LOVE the '60s Chryslers! Good for you! Welcome!The housing that holds the signal switch should come out easilly once you remove the screws. But, you will need to be careful because the transmision buttons will need to be removed at the same time. If I remember, once that left panel is loose the switch mechanism is right on top.There is, or should be a cloth gasket on the back. It might be old and crumbly, or even already gone. It goes around each trans button and the switch hole.

This car has been garaged kept its whole life by the first owner. I'm the second owner. 48000 miles. It is honestly like a time machine. All the wiring looks like it was installed yesterday. I have never seen a 50 year old car in this kind of shape in my life. That has not been restored.

The switch is below the pushbuttons for the trans. it is a lever that slides left to right. I just cant see how it is mounted. The slide bar once removed is about 5 inches long. So it is in there pretty deep.

I finally got the switch out. After removing the tranny pushbuttons you can get to the switch and remove it. The best way to describe the experience is, like trying to tie your shoes in a rose bush. but it is out and the new one will be in tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
